Sales are there for exactly the same reason. It's 100% market exploitation of the consumer mindset.

The sad part is that people aren't even aware they're being exploited.

But enough of this, it's a waste of time. If people think Blizzard are "cool" because they're "giving" this away for "free" - then whatever floats boats.
